But pragmatically speaking, it's damn near impossible to treat each and every person on earth as an individual 100% of the time.  There are over 6 billion reasons why it's not practical.

Ideally though, yes, that's what we'd always do.

And I don't think you are a bigot at all.  Just making a point.

I think there are bigotries we shine a white hot spotlight on and they whither and weaken (black) and some we acknowledge and they slip in the shadows but remain fairly strong (women, Mexicans) and those we completely ignore and those remain the same or even grow in power (Southerners in this case)
